#Ghostbusters Official International Trailer #2 (2016)

Earlier this week we got a great look at the new Ghostbusters movie, but only the tiniest glimpse of the franchises big new bad guy (bad ghost?). This new international trailer, however, gives us a few more jokes, more new footage and a much clearer look at the dead, dapper foe.

The international Ghostbusters trailer follows a lot of the same beats of the trailer released earlier this week, but there's a few new jokes in there—like Erin testing out Holtzmann's new, nuclear-powered anti-ghost weapon (and getting a fantastic reaction from Kate McKinnon) or the Mayor's office dropping some shade on the Ghostbusters. Check it out below:

The most important thing in the trailer though is this great look at the new villain, who we only briefly glimpsed looking all burned up in the other trailer. Many people have assumed this is a new version of the original movie's Stay Puft Marshmallow man, but it isn't: this is Rowan, a ghost that many speculate to be the evil version of the ghost from the Ghostbusters' famous 'No Ghosts' logo (and may be the reason as to how they get their logo in the first place), after an action figure of him shown at Toy Fair earlier this year showed him having many similar traits:

Two years after the all-female reboot of the beloved 1980s franchise arrived, original star Dan Aykroyd is now promising that a true Ghostbusters 3, starring the three surviving OG ‘busters, is on its way. Many thought the death of Harold Ramis, who played Egon Spengler, in 2014 had put paid to a proper reunion, but Aykroyd’s comments suggest that we can look forward to him teaming up with Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson in the near future.

If so, there's good news from the world of Gozer — there’s a new Ghostbusters movie in the works!

Entertainment Weekly has learned exclusively that Jason Reitman will direct and co-write an upcoming film set in the world that was saved decades previously by the proton pack-wearing working stiffs in the original 1984 movie, which was directed by his father, Ivan Reitman.

“I’ve always thought of myself as the first Ghostbusters fan, when I was a 6-year-old visiting the set. I wanted to make a movie for all the other fans,” Reitman says. “This is the next chapter in the original franchise. It is not a reboot. What happened in the ‘80s happened in the ‘80s, and this is set in the present day.”
